Access Point
Access Point: Wireless Network
Wireless (2.4GHz, 5GHz1, or 5GHz2) > Wireless Network
This section outlines the available features to configure for the wireless 2.4 GHz and
both 5GHz bands when Access Point mode is selected.
1. Log into your management page (see “ Access the management page ” on page
8).
2. Click on the wireless band you would like to configure and click Wireless
Network.
3. Configure the below settings and click Save to save settings.
Configurations per band:

Wireless Mode: If all of the wireless devices you want to connect with this
Access Point can connect in the same transmission mode, you can improve
performance slightly by choosing the appropriate mode. If you have some
devices that use a different transmission mode, choose the appropriate
mode.
2.4GHz Wireless

B/G/N mixed: Select this mode for the best compatibility. This mode
allows older 802.11b and 802.11g wireless devices to connect to the access
point in addition to newer 802.11n devices.

B/G mixed: This mode only allows devices to connect to the access point
using older and slow 802.11b or 802.11g technology and it thereby reduces
the access point’s maximum speed to 54Mbps (typically not
recommended).

N only: This mode only allows newer 802.11n devices to connect to your
access point. This mode does ensure the highest speed and security for
your network, however, if you have older 802.11g wireless clients, they will
no longer be able to connect to this access point.

G only: This mode only allows devices to connect to the access point using
older and slower 802.11g technology (typically not recommended).

B only: This mode only allows devices to connect to the access point using
older and slower 802.11b technology (typically not recommended).

Note: Please check the specifications on your wireless devices for the
highest wireless capability supported first before applying these settings. If
you are unsure, it is recommended that you keep the default setting (B/G/N
mixed) for the best compatibility.
5GHz Wireless

A only: This mode only allows devices to connect to the access point using
older and slower 802.11a technology (typically not recommended).

A/N mixed: This mode only allows devices to connect to the access point
using older and slower 802.11a or 802.11n technology and it thereby
reduces the access point’s maximum speed to 54Mbps (typically not
recommended).

N only: This mode only allows newer 802.11n devices to connect to your
access point. This mode does ensure the highest speed and security for
your network, however, if you have older 802.11a wireless clients, they will
no longer be able to connect to this access point.
